Postpartum

The postpartum period is a particularly vulnerable time for a gestational parent due to the sheer quantity and intensity of changes they experience. Emotional experiences range from joy to despair. If your postpartum experience is not what you expected, you are not alone, and help is available.

It is critical that new parents feel supported in the first year as you navigate common stressors including:

  • changes to identity

  • birth trauma

  • breastfeeding

  • fatigue/lack of sleep

  • learning to soothe a crying infant

  • multiple roles and tasks

  • finances

  • changing relationships
